STOP, BLOCK & TALK® for digital safety

Neysa Koizumi from Digital Waitaha is running a fun and engaging digital safety and wellbeing workshop for parents and whānau to help keep our children safe online.

Raising digital citizens is something other generations of parents haven’t had to deal with, and there's a lot to navigate! Come along for support and advice that will be useful for parents of children aged 0 and up.  FREE childcare and a sausage sizzle (for adults and kids!), kindly provided by Rakaia School, who are hosting us.
